my nan does why
People drink 300 million cups of coffee a day so I think you should consider a coffee cart business
i know a guy who has one and he does major business at the local farmers' markets.people love coffee!
If you are thinking of getting a cart take my advice.. STAY OFF MY CORNER
Yes, but you have to have an edge to beat out starbucks or your other cart competitors. Usually these shmucks look like worn out buffoons.

If sista has some back, use that to your advantage. Flaunt it if you've got it.
GO FOR IT!! Here in WA. state, it is a HUGE hit!! I went to see my cousins in TN. in 2003 and tried to get them to do it! They thought I was crazy!! lol Now, they wish they would have listened to me!!
Everyone LOVES coffee!! Well, not everyone, but watch the area first!!
